Beer Snobbery Gone Wrong

The singer’s rider also reveals a fondness for certain beers. It states that she requires: “12x selection of bottles of best quality European lager beer. ie Beck’s, Stella Artois, Peroni etc. North American beer is NOT acceptable.”

The singer in question is Adele, the latest soul-inspired English singer to roar to massive stardom. She's all of 23, so this seems about par for the course. And maybe this accounts for something, too:

She [also] asks for two bottles of posh red plonk and a packet of Marlboro Light fags and a lighter.

Someone ought to sneak an American IPA in with the Peronis and see what happens.

For what it is worth: many of the sites aren't showing the whole rider. Over at the Smoking Gun http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/adele-rider?page=2 , you can see that it also asks for "good quality local lager (NOT Budweiser, Miller, or similar "National" brand)" for the band and crew buses.

snobbery gone wrong? indeed, since you all think you're so high and mighty. oh no, someone might not like what you like! she must be young and dumb. never mind the fact that this was probably written by some agent / intermediary trying to communicate that she doesn't want a case of Bud Light. and good god, opinions are like assholes....
